Talk:Gor - Knowledge

speaks to). One can be an Objectivist and practice aspects of BDSM, but that doesnt mean Objectivism is a subset of BDSM as a result. Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" fantasy series is heavily founded upon Objectivism and also presents many BDSM-ish scenes. That doesnt make BDSM practices necessary to Objectivism or even to Goodkind's take on it. It just means these things can be done (and that sex sells lol). In terms of Gor the same holds true. While the institution of slavery is present on Gor (just like it was in Rome, Greece, etc. - the ancient cultures upon which Gor is based), and the books often detail this for the exact reason of audience attraction, its only one part of that world, and it isnt one necessary for someone to be a "Gorean" (again, female slaves were a small minority of the female population and most people never owned them). Fighting and the life of a Warrior is also heavily present in the stories (such is a lot more interesting and sells more books than the daily scenes in a Tailor's life lol) but the vast majority of Goreans are not of the Warrior Caste. You dont have to be a Warrior to be a Gorean, you dont have to know how to use a sword or fight either. Yet even though the Warrior Caste is the most focused on, a clear picture of the general Gorean mindset and philosophy beyond far more than just the Warrior's is presented (and besides, Caste in and of itself is an aspect of Gorean society - the importance in terms of the philosophy isnt how that institution is enacted on Gor, but the "why" behind it, which is applicable across the board). Besides also, most of the "slave conversations" in the books are not really speaking of BDSM at all, but are examinations of the conflict between the ancient world/Gorean viewpoint on femininity and masculinity vs. the modern world's take on these subjects and others - all those passages where Tarl and the given girl go back and forth between what is Gor and what is taught on Earth. Whats there goes far deeper than any simple promotion of BDSM, we are reading a presentation of what the author feels is the natural way each respective sex should approach life and each other (and that natural way isnt slavery - its the ancient view on what feminity and masculinity is and how these two are complimentary). The same holds true with Tarl's introspection - he doesnt just contemplate the idea of female slavery, he examines how a person should live his life as a whole, in the process contrasting Gor to Earth and ultimately rejecting the latter for the former, with we the readers present for the multi-book spanning process (which is reiterated in part in the Jason Marshall trilogy). BDSM isnt a subset of the Gorean Lifestyle, aspects of it are simply things that could be done and obviously enjoyed (though some things are unacceptable). But they do not need to be done, and one can lead a Gorean Lifestyle without ever crossing into the realm of BDSM. Just like one could a Libertarian, Objectivist, etc., or any life based on a developed philosophy. Which means the Gorean Lifestyle in reality isnt a subset of BDSM, its just that BDSMers claim this and no matter how many times those living a Gorean Lifestyle (not a BDSM "Lifestyle" into which Gorean slave ideas have been brought) try to correct this, the general BDSM crowd says the opposite and demands that to be the simplified definition/classification, even though it isnt even their lifestyle in the first place lol... not to mention many of them have little familiarity with the subject or the books excepting what theyve read of BDSM based websites. Websites which often do not like Gor, or just want to relegate it to something they can "claim" as part of their thing.

794:

out that Norman has written passages against S&M. Using the general BDSM term without clarifying things leads to the continued error of people thinking that Gorean is inclusive of all that is in BDSM. This isnt like other subjects. BDSM, for the most part, is tolerant of people's kinks. When someone says they are a "BDSMer" they probably dont practice or even like all the possibilities. But here, with Gor, we have not an individual but a defined subject that doesnt just not include all those possibilities, but flat out rejects some, such as S&M, as being born of a sickness. Big difference there. Gor is quite intolerant at times. It isnt necessary to go through a whole list rattling off all the possibilites that werent suggested in the novels - that would both unnecessary and impossible. But those things that are very clearly rejected - S&M - should be noted, especially since not doing so has created this ongoing false assumption that Goreans are into S&M of an unsafe form claiming no need for "safe words" and thus Goreans are dangerous people who promote abuse (a side note on "safe words" - such are not needed because the situations where they would be needed simply should not occur for the Gorean. In the case of a relationship the words "please stop" in any case mean exactly what they mean, not "I love this please continue until I really mean stop by saying the 'safe word'". But this is again irrelevent because the Gorean mindset rejects S&M and its practice, and views the damaging of a woman in any way - physical or emotional - as stupid). Not only isnt the idea that Goreans are into S&M true, but by the definition presented through the novels, such people arent Gorean at all (at least not in terms of what the philosophy projects in ideal - "bad" Goreans are shown in the novels, for the exact reason of showing the "wrong" side of things also, making the "right" all the more clear), and are behaving in a way contrary to what the books support. Made clear, Gor no longer exists as a misunderstood excuse that abusive people attempt to hide behind. It becomes actually the opposite, since Gor is really a condemnation of this particular sort of behavior. And those modern Goreans who rightfully have nothing to do with S&M (or often BDSM as a whole) arent unfairly labeled and condemned. Knowledge is supposed to be an encyclopedia. Such accuracy, especially in the context of a topic being assumed to approve of something it in reality rejects, is obviously both important and necessary.

750:"Lifestyle" into which some Gorean terms and ideas have been brought - things possibly practiced within the Gorean Lifestyle, but only a possible part and not the most important. This is what the BDSM crowd incorrectly pushes as the definition of Gorean. The Gorean Lifestyle is a reflection of the lifestyle of the fictional people living on Gor, not just their possible sexual practices. Seriously, think about it. How did Goreans on Gor live? The novels present an entire society reflecting not just the institution of slavery but an entire culture and its supporting philosophy. This philosophy is rooted in Nietzsche (who Norman paraphrases throughout the novels, sometimes for pages on end, and who the whole concept of comparing the conflicting morality of our modern age (which both Nietzsche and Norman term - "the morality of the slave" - a morality of weakness and conformity) to that of the morality of ancient times (which both Nietzsche and Norman term - the "morality of the master" - a morality of strength and individuality) comes from), Ayn Rand's Objectivism (Norman has lectured professionally on Rand and participated on professional panels discussing this philosopher), Aristotle and some of the Stoics (for the sake of brevity I will stop there). We are talking about an entire culture when we use the words "Gor" or "Gorean". When we talk of their lifestyle we are speaking of how they lived their lives - not just how some of them may have had sex (as it is female slaves were only a very small fraction of the population; beings that only a very few ever owned compared to the non-slave owning majority). Modern Goreans base their lives in the philosophy behind this culture - the "why" behind what the people do in every life situation and the surrounding society itself. This is why you see so many arguments on this subject, because BDSMers constantly think they can define Gorean by what they think it to be or want it to be, rather than what is really presented in the novels in the fuller sense, and what many of us modern Goreans actually really do live by. A life that isnt at all focused on the "slave stuff" but on life as a whole, to which the Gorean novels do fully speak. 2245:

books #14 through #16, and then went off on an "Injun" semi-tangent in books #17 and #18, so that the series was somewhat diverted for a full three years — and when Norman finally returned the series back to its core plotlines, things were no longer really the same as before (due to inside and outside factors). By that time, Norman had managed to shake off all editorial supervision, so that he was able to fairly fully indulge his idiosyncracies of style ("muchly", "modality", "unoften" etc.) and pack the books with more dense ideological or "philosophical" expository passages. The books also started to grow longer (book #18 was longer than all but one of the preceding books in the series, while books #22 and #25 were longer still, almost three times as long as book #1), and they were published more closely together (two per year in the 1980's, as opposed to one per year in the 1970's), somewhat saturating the market. The books still had fervent fans, but interest among general science-fiction readers started to drop off. Also, in the 1970's the Gor books had been widely distributed as ordinary science fiction books to many suburban or small-town bookstores and libraries across the U.S. — but by the 1980's the secret was out, and many buyers for libraries etc. now became aware of the Gor books' "controversial" status (at a time when many librarians still considered science fiction to be basically reading material for teenage boys), and the books increasingly came under attack from feminists and others. When DAW Books came under new leadership as a result of Donald Wollheim's stroke, the new management weighed decreasing profits against increasing aggravation, together with their personal distaste for the subject matter of the Gor books and their plans to move DAW in a somewhat new direction, and fairly abruptly pulled the plug (even though Norman had already almost finished writing Gor book #26 when the decision was made to stop publishing). Of course, this might be considered to be an "Original Synthesis" by Knowledge standards...

659:"B&D"... but not "S&M." The term "BDSM" is inclusive of the latter which gives a false impression of what the novels present and what the author is expressing, thus I think the removal of the full "BDSM" tag is correct. The use of the expression "B&D" alone would be fine and would present a less general and potentially confusing explanation. Use of the full BDSM tag causes confusion since the majority who "overlap" resultingly and inaccuratley define Gorean as being inclusive of S&M, and infact often think its even dependent upon it (or want to think that). Also, use of "BDSM" tends to make people think "Gorean" is a subset of that collective term, when in reality it is a lifestyle unto itself of which sexuality is only a single part. Potential B&D aspects are only a possibility but not a dependence, and often modern Gorean sexuality isnt at all inclusive of what is commonly thought of when someone thinks "B&D" (though use of the term in the general sense is correct). Ambiguity in this regard would only make the presented facts less factual, so clarity in the explanation of this point and avoidance of simple catch-all phrasing would make clear what we have both said since we are pretty much saying the same things - the problem is somewhat an issue of semantics and how a reader new to the topic might interpret things if not made clear. 1003:

clarified." Clarified. S&M isnt simply not a part of Gor, or something not mentioned. It is clearly mentioned and clearly rejected in harsh terms. How hard would it really be to just make the accurate comment that the practice of S&M as commonly defined is not a part of Gor? Im not saying phrase it in any nasty way, or that it cant even be phrased nicely. If you want to leave the term BDSM, do so, I know that is what is going to happen anyway. But the fact that there is a large part of BDSM that is not only rejected in the Gorean novels, but condemned as a sickness should be made clear for the reason I stated in a previous post. And this doesnt have to be stated in such harsh, critical terms. I know the BDSM community wants to promote tolerance of all kinks but the Gorean philosophy is its own thing and it is often very intolerant. If the definition is that of Gor and Gorean, the truth should be stated, not what someone wants to be the truth or for that matter doesnt want. In my earlier post I gave a very valid reason for this in how many people think Goreans are involved in abusive forms of S&M and that Gor itself supports this. A clarification wouldnt change the misconception overnight, but more importantly, it wouldnt feed it.

1272:

had attempted to work with John Norman on marketing it, et al. He explained that he had been initially unable to garner any response from the author and how, after he'd consulted with his own legal counself, he had sought and been granted a trademark on his work. (In particular it was believed that the references to Kaissa in the book were sufficiently vague and "passing" that the game as created and published could not be legal held to be an infringing derivative work). I only offer this anecdote here informally since I cannot verify any of the details (I don't remember the man's name, the specific year of this conversation, etc). So it is only hearsay at this point. (I should also note that the notions of "derivative work" have been in flux in recent decades as MPAA, RIAA and various other media and software industry interests have tried to extend much of the law surrounding "intellectual property" for their own purposes).

937:...there are people who come across this article who judge Goreans exclusively by BDSM standards, and come to the conclusion that Goreans are struggling to dimly approach BDSM best practices, but failing -- while other people have the point of view that "Goreans practice a noble philosophy of honor", and insist that being Gorean has nothing to do with mere "game-playing" or "role-playing" (you must imagine the word "playing" to be pronounced with ineffable contempt and disdain). Neither point of view, if taken to extremes, would result in a very good Knowledge article -- but this article kind of has to be written in such a way that neither side would be completely outraged on reading it. 2419:

Another aspect of why the Gor series got the axe is that the books became more extreme in their advocacy of sexual slavery for women as the series progressed -- in the early books, Tarl Cabot still had some hesitancies and residual earth attitudes, but he converted to a thoroughgoing native Gorean viewpoint by book #10, and from then on seemed to develop an increasing proselytizing fervor. The Gor books were probably overall more suited to the seventies (with its "sexual liberation" ethos) than the eighties (when there was a rising fear of AIDS, and feminism was no longer just an isolated radical protest movement, but now had some significant influence on mainstream American lives).

1033:

terminology - BDSM is the primary point with "Gorean" only clarifying what flavor, and thus being the secondary point. The simple fact that the second case is called a "subset of BDSM" proves my contention - BDSM is the focus and foundation, and thus that is what the lifestyle should be called. The Gorean Lifestyle isnt founded in BDSM, it is founded in a philosophical system influenced by and akin to that of Nietzsche, Rand, Aristotle, some Stoics and others. For this reason it is not a subset of BDSM, because such isnt the defining focus or for that matter even a major part. Its primary point is "Gorean," with BDSM being a secondary possibility at most.

1063:"honor"). Gorean philosophy isnt a philosophy of slavery, and it isnt a philosophy of honor either. Some of the values presented in Gorean philosophy go into what constitutes a Gorean's common notion of the word "honor," but that word itself isnt the philosophy, and what's behind that word is only a fraction of the whole the philosophy does present. By looking at the Gorean take on honor, or for that matter slavery and anything else in the books down to the very basic actions of the characters, and asking "why" do Goreans believe this and do this, we find the philosophy behind Gor. Its the "why" that matters, with the "how" developing on top of this. 1324:

offensive. I won't publicly comment on my personal feelings towards BDSM; just that I find it offensive to read a novel that repeatedly claims that male domination and female submission are generally part of some "natural order" and that certain aspects of S&M are the result of our attempts to suppress this "natural order"). Regardless of my personal opinion I think that it is noteworthy that the books show a lasting popularity (and perhaps some degree of ongoing commercial success). (Personally I find those facts to be far more revealling about social trends than the author's own views).

973:

definition BDSM would get if the non-BDSM majority of the world did the writing, based on their misconceptions and the beliefs they want to have - the "objective reality" the "vanilla" world says they know BDSM to be all about. It would not at all be pretty in a venue like this, but the difference here is - most common people dont have any interest in defining BDSM or Gor, but BDSMers always want to say what Gorean is. (Not calling you a BDSMer AnonMoos, I dont know you -and- dont take anything that may sound harsh in this as being pointed at you, its not.)

701:

much of what comes under that catch-all (and most people do not know this), and for that matter isnt dependent on any of it anyway (lol which most people also do not know - none of what falls under BDSM is necessary to the Gorean Lifesyle, its just possibility), which if not clearly stated makes the article less factual and useful. So no, I am not only objecting to the "M", I am objecting to the fact that the use of the term promotes misunderstanding that is already widely believed as a result of this exact thing.

the 1970's; after that, Norman went off on his Jason tangent in books 14-16, and then his Indian semi-tangent in books 17-18, and by the time he came back to what I would consider his main narrative, the books weren't selling quite as well as before (though still profitable), and they were under attack from various quarters, and far more people (such as those in charge of purchasing books for libraries) had become aware of their controversial status. The final blow seems to have been

having their greatest commercial success). What Norman was really successful at was getting books which many think revolve around bondage practices and "kinky sex" (though of course without "dirty words" or detailed descriptions of body parts) adopted into small suburban branch libraries across the U.S. in the late 1970's and early 1980's, where they were filed in with all the other sci-fi and fantasy books (as I saw with my own eyes on several occasions).

In encyclopedic tone, that's what's in the article now: the publishers cite low sales, and Norman blames the cancellation on feminism.

gravitational constant. Basically the more mass the planet has the stronger the gravity, so either Gor is the same size as Earth but less dense, or Gor has same mass but is less dense and therefore larger in size. If force due to gravity (i.e. weight) is less then you can keep a larger body in the air without expending more energy, so larger flying creatures are more feasible.

It is only in a society that attempts to deny the respective masculine and feminine natures of humanity that such a necessity would occur, for nature cannot truly be denied, and any such attempt will lead only to sickness.

I know what BDSM is/means lol and that is exactly the point - it is vague and widely inclusive. That's exactly why the term BDSM should not be used because, as Ive already stated, it isnt clear and gives the false impression that Gorean includes "everything" which it does not. In fact, Gorean rejects

I have come back to this after a few years. It looks like the people here are contradicting each other. I claim that higher gravity means greater air density. I think that is consistent with the laws of physics. The only exception I can think of is the case where the atmosphere itself is made up

It's a somewhat frustrating aspect of the Gor/Gorean subject-matter that for a number of things which many people are interested in, and which would certainly be considered inherently "notable" by every other criterion, reliable sources (in the conventional Knowledge sense) simply don't exist.

In the matter of Kaissa; many years ago I met one person who created a game from the passing references in the Gor novels. He was a vendor at a local Science Fiction convetion (Orycon, Portland, Oregon, circa the early to mid 1980s). He related to me the story of how he created the game and how he

Also, saying that "it is irrelevent what might be within BDSM that is not Gorean," is wrong.

As stated, what you have said is true, but the reality is it does not happen this way. The heavier planet will tend to retain more of the gas, so you will not have the same amount of gases surrounding the planet. In the case of Venus, it has vast amounts of CO2 in its atmosphere, as well as other

Agree with the "BDSM" removal. "Erotica" alone is more fitting since the nature of S&M especially is denounced in the novels as a sickness resulting from sexual repression/denial - what the author sees the modern world suffering from. Punishment, and punishment for sexual arousal arent the same

Venus has nearly the same gravity as Earth, but it's atmosphere is mostly CO2, which is a heavier gas than Nitrogen so that might explain the greater density. I would say in order to have a fair comparison both planets would have to have the same type of atmosphere, or at least a breathable one.

Please sign your contributions; it's polite, and makes it clearer who said what. On the BDSM subject, I think that you may have the set order inverted. The 'Gorean Lifestyle' as some people practice it is a subset of BDSM, rather than BDSM being a subset of the Gorean Lifestyle - therefore it is

I disagree with the removal of the BDSM tag; while John Norman has written passages against S&M, he's fully behind B&D, and there are plenty of people in the BDSM community who overlap with the "Gorean" set. Having said that, I'm in full agreement with the addition of a "Erotica" tag; the

First off, it would be somewhat controversial to describe the books as a "BDSM fantasy", since (among other reasons) the modern BDSM movement didn't really begin to take shape until the mid-1980's (and there's no evidence that the acronym "BDSM" itself was coined before about 1990-1991), and BDSM

I do not have it inverted at all. You are making the all too common mistake of defining the Gorean Lifestyle by what the BDSM crowd terms it to be, which goes back to my original point about why the use of the term "BDSM" is misleading if not properly clarified. What you are describing is a BDSM

Someone's changed 'British professor Tarl Cabot' to 'New England professor Tarl Cabot.' He's British, but taught for one term in a New England college; this seems tricky to explain well. I'm thinking of just calling him British, since his teaching carreer was short and of little consequence.

Force due to gravity has nothing to do with air density. It is dependent on the mass of the planet, and the distance between the two objects. The simplified equation is F=GM/(r.r). In this case M is the mass of the planet, r is the distance between the centres of the two objects and G is the

The Gorean version of chess, Kaissa, is not explicitly spelled out in full in any of the novels. However, fans have gathered together the passages mentioning it and reconstructed a playable version from the fragments; a quick googling will turn up pages describing this.

at least on Gor there's never any religious justification offered for male supremacy (given Norman's dismissive attitude towards religion, reflected in the involuted nature of the Gorean "Initiates" -- though there are Gorean "foundation myths", not the same thing).

AnonMoos is correct. The books are in print now, though; in fact, I saw the whole series, including #26, at Powell's the other day. The most recent versions are in trade-paperback size and (in my opinion) overpriced, but they do exist in dead-tree format.

My understanding of physics is maybe not as good as some people here, but I think lower gravity means lower air density and makes it harder to fly, so the creatures would need to have wide wing spans, but smaller bodies.

John Norman particularly likes writing about uppity feminist Earthwomen who are abducted to Gor, enslaved, and whipped a lot – whereupon they realize with joy that being a slave is their true and liberating role in life.
